5-HTP Capsules – Mood & Sleep Support – 60 Count
Your body makes serotonin in steps: tryptophan from food becomes 5-HTP, 5-HTP becomes serotonin, and at night some of that serotonin becomes melatonin. Supplementing 5-HTP skips the first step and gives the pathway more raw material. That's why it comes up in conversations about mood and sleep at the same time.
Ours is sourced from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a West African plant and one of the richest natural sources of 5-HTP.
How to Use It
Take two capsules once a day, 20–30 minutes before a meal with a glass of water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take it with an antidepressant?
Not without your doctor's OK. SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs and triptans also raise serotonin, and stacking them with 5-HTP can push levels too high.
How is this different from melatonin?
Melatonin is the end of the chain. 5-HTP works further up, supporting serotonin first, and your body makes melatonin from that at night.
Morning or night?
Start in the evening, since its link to sleep is strongest then. If it makes you drowsy, keep it there.
Why isn't it vegan?
The capsule shell is gelatin. If that matters to you, our Ashwagandha and Sea Moss use plant-based capsules.
